Ever made kanzashi flower....They look super cute anywhere whether it's bag, card, hair band , a shirt or even a vase. These one I made are from a 1 inch ribbon. They can be made two toned but it's better if you use 5cm ribbon. and 4 cm ribbon.
Kanzashi flower can be made from fabric and have petals from 5 up to 75 depending on the design. I made tried my luck with max 23. Let's just say I won't be posting pictures of that ever.
You will need
- ribbon
- lighter/ tea light
- scissor
- needle and thread
So take any ribbon
take one end and fold it in half and snip
Take that piece and fold it again
and again
There you will have a cute little petal
Burn the tip where the ends meet
It will secure it.
See this pic and i'll show you in the end how you have make another type of flower.
Make as many petals you like
Pass them through a thread and secure nicely
Now I told you that you can make another flower that is a bit flat. By snipping and burning the back/below side you get a much flatter flower.
See how the back differs
Decorate and use as you like. They are around 1/5 inch wide.
